Fractal Design Torrent RGB TG Light Tint ATX Case, Black

Cooling is where the Torrent stands out. The front accepts three 120 or 140 mm fans, or two large 180 mm fans, so you can move a lot of air into the case. The bottom offers the same layout, with three 120/140 mm or two 180 mm positions, and there is a rear mount for one 120 or 140 mm fan. Together these positions let you plan a strong, directed airflow path from front and bottom to rear.

If you run an AIO or a custom loop, the front supports radiators up to 360 or 420 mm, including 360x180 mm units. You can also fit a 240 mm radiator in the top. That gives you room to cool a high-end processor and still leave space for a big graphics card. It also lets you start with air cooling now and move to liquid cooling later without changing your case.

Long graphics cards fit without a struggle. With a 240 mm radiator in the top, the Torrent takes GPUs up to 360 mm long. If you choose a 360 or 280 mm front radiator instead, the limit is under 305 mm. Check your card's length against these two setups before you buy, so your cooling and graphics plans fit together the way you intend.

This case takes a wide range of motherboards: E-ATX, ATX, mATX and Mini-ITX, plus the server-style SSI-EEB and SSI-CEB formats. Seven expansion slots give you room for a graphics card and add-in cards such as capture, network or storage controllers. A standard ATX power supply fits, so you can choose from the widest range of PSUs on the market for your build.

The Torrent has two 3.5"/2.5" bays and four 2.5" bays, two of which come with mounts in the box. The HDD/SSD combo cage holds either hard drives or SSDs, so you can mix fast storage with bulk capacity for games, media and backups. Built-in cable management helps you route power and data cables neatly, which keeps the interior tidy and the airflow clear.

The front panel has a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports and HD Audio, so you can plug in fast drives, phones and headsets without reaching round the back. Removable dust filters on the front and bottom help keep dust out of the fans and components. The black finish and tempered glass side panel with a light tint put your hardware on show.

This case suits gamers and creators building high-performance systems with hot-running processors and large graphics cards, who want plenty of cooling options. It also works for workstation builders who need E-ATX or SSI-EEB board support. With a net weight of 12 kg and dimensions of 544 x 242 x 530 mm (W x D x H), it is a substantial desk-side case, so plan your space before you order.
